The Knicks officially announced the signing of Ramon Sessions on Tuesday.

Sessions could realistically open the 2017-18 season as New York's starting point guard, but he'll likely cede that starting spot to Frank Ntilikina towards the second half of the year when player development becomes a primary focus for the Knicks. Aug 8 - 6:33 PM

Ramon Sessions and the Knicks have agreed on a one-year, $2.3 million deal, according to Shams Charania of The Vertical.

There's a decent chance he starts for the Knicks. Frank Ntilikina is a serious project and the Knicks likely don't want to start Ron Baker despite his contract. Sessions has been very durable in his NBA career and his claim to fame is his 83-game season in 2013-14, so he could actually be a name to watch in fantasy. Jul 28 - 2:43 PM

New York desperately needs to add a point guard or will risk entering the 2017-18 season with Ron Baker as their starting PG. Sessions is coming off a disappointing season in which he averaged 6.2 points and 2.6 assists, while shooting just 38.0 percent from the floor, before undergoing season-ending knee surgery in February. The Knicks can only offer the veteran's minimum, but Sessions may not receive a better offer. He actually might have some fantasy value in deeper leagues if he landed a starting gig in New York.

The Hornets will decline Ramon Sessions' $6.3M contract option for the 2017-18 season, according to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer.

Sessions will likely have to settle for something closer to the veteran's minimum in order to keep playing, and he's hitting free agency at the wrong time in a flooded point guard market. There is no fantasy relevance to be found here regardless of where Sessions makes his next home. Jun 29 - 6:40 PM

Frank Ntilikina said "of course" he wants to start for the Knicks this season.

This doesn't really mean much and he did walk it back after that comment. "I’m a team player. I just want what’s best for the team." The plan looks like it'll be Ntilikina coming off the bench, but the Knicks swinging and missing on a free agent PG should help his case to get minutes sooner than expected. Ntilikina could leapfrog either Ron Baker or Ramon Sessions in camp, so keep an eye on him as a fantasy stash.

According to ESPN's Ian Begley, the Knicks have been shopping Joakim Noah.

He's owed $55.6 million over the next three years and is entering his age-33 season, making this one of the worst contracts in the league. It's no secret that the Knicks have been listening to offers for Kristaps Porzingis this week, but one roadblock in trade talks is that the team tried to include Noah in the talks. The big man had surgery to repair his rotator cuff in his right shoulder back in April and is suspended for the first 12 games of the season for failing a drug test. In case it needs to be said, fantasy owners should look the other way on draft day.
